Getting sick of your everyday black eyeliner? Bold eyeliner looks featuring cool colors are so in right now. From teal liner on your waterline, to a thick purple wing, there are so many different ways to wear this look. If you want to try this striking style, but aren’t sure where to start, not to worry! We did a little research and found the colored liner that would look best for your eye color.

Brown Eyes

If you are a brown-eyed girl, there are tons of options to compliment this neutral eye color. Brown or black liner is probably your go-to, but that doesn’t create much contrast. If you want to elevate your look, your best bets are deep, darker tones, like navy, eggplant purple, or hunter green.

Blue Eyes

For our readers with blue eyes, you can switch up your eyeliner routine with shades of reds or golds. Choose champagne or copper colored liner for a sparkly hue or an emerald green for a really vivid pop of color.

Green Eyes

Purples will look great with your green eyes! All shades of purple liner will not only compliment your eye color, but make them stand out. If you want to stick with a safer color, but still get a bold look, try a shimmery copper or bronze liner!

Hazel Eyes

Hazel eyes are complimented best with warm tones. The must-have colors for your eyes are gold, orange, shimmery brown liners. This will create an awesome contrast and bring out the true color of your eyes.

Gray Eyes

If you have eyes that are more gray in color, silver liner will make your eyes pop! If you’re looking for an actual colored-liner look, reds, especially burgundy will be a total stand out.
